Finding the Freshest Poinsettia

Finding the Freshest Poinsettia

If you look closely at open poinsettia flower, you'll find a large yellow nectar gland and a central pistil surrounded by a group of stamens. When choosing a poinsettia make sure that all the flowers aren't fully open yet; this will ensure you have a long lasting plant.

Poinsettia History

Robert Buist was likely the first person to have sold the poinsettias under their botanical, name Euphorbia pulcherrima which means 'the most beautiful Euphorbia. They initially sold as cut flowers and then in the early 1900s, they were sold as whole plants for landscaping and containers.

The Myth of the Poisonous Poinsettia

Despite widespread belief, poinsettias are non-toxic. The active chemicals found in most Euphorbias are barely detectable in poinsettias. However, the milky sap may cause an upset stomach if eaten, or a rash on sensitive skin.
